A 14" bandsaw, especially with a riser, cannot adequately tension a 1/2" blade. I'm sure this is contributing to the blade wander, and might be the sole cause of the blade wander. Try a smaller blade...

My family and I went to New Orleans for a long weekend not too long ago. We really enjoyed the D-Day museum and my kids picked up D-Day commemorative coins. They want me to build a display for them....

I've been busier than a one-armed paper hanger and haven't had much time to post lately, but I'm looking to buy a 2HP dust collector and have it narrowed down to these 2 (click for the products).

Boyd, great work and nicely done on showing all the details.

Thanks, Boyd. I know what you mean. I kept thinking there's got to be a shortcut, but I just plugged away and now I have nice lumber storage. I don't keep a lot on hand, so this should work out...

Thanks, Dick. It is a good design. I like that I can always add more supports if needed.

Put together a small lumber rack. As usual, it took way longer than I thought it would.

Chris, I've owned a number of smokers: water smokers, barrel smokers, etc. I've learned that there are a number of key features to look for in good performing offset firebox smoker.

Heavy gauge...

This is good news, Jeff. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Boyd, those are some sharp looking blast gates. Well done.

My prayers are with you. Be strong!

Chris, that turned out really nice. Your DIL did a nice job with the paint and hey you did pretty okay too!

I think Incra has a template for that. :D

I'm in a 3 car garage, but one bay is essentially household storage. I use the other 2 bays as my shop, with usable space of about 18' x 23'. Everything is on wheels so I can push it all to the side...

Eric, my Biesemeyer commercial fence manual only uses the "critical measurement" language in reference to installing the fence on saws other than a Delta. I think what is critical on your unisaw is...

Dominic--nice job on the bandsaw rebuild. I've seen your other posts about it and it's nice to see the final outcome. Well done. I too have a Jet 14" and am very interested in you dust collection...

I'm in awe. That is one fantastic project.

Fred, that's an incredible job on the whole set. I especially like the dresser. Good work!

Very elegant, Roger! Well done. I love the inlay.

Hey Tyler, get to feeling better so those 6 pack abs will come back. I'm sure they're scared of you now.

And I think Terry is right about using the grip tite beyond the front of the blade. That...

David Marks was at our local Woodcraft yesterday. He had a morning 2 hour demonstration, an afternoon 2 hour demonstration, and a 1 hour Q&A to end the day. I made it to the afternoon session and the...

Mark, that frame sure turned out nice. And it sounds like his girlfriend appreciated it as much as you enjoyed making it with him.

Diane, there is a Taunton book called "Trim Carpentry and Built-Ins" by Clayton Dekorne that is pretty good. Lots of pictures and advice in it. You might want to check it out.

John, are you saying you've got an electric chainsaw? How does that work out for you? Does it have enough power. I've been looking at what I think is the same model.

Chris, a properly aligned saw goes along way toward safety, especially fence parallel to blade. Obviously a good splitter that you will actually use (read easy to take off and put back on) is also a...
